Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ೖ has the Unicode code point U+0CD6. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thexare the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+0CD6 to binary:
00001100 11010110. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100000 10110011 10010110

Description
The Kannada script is a Dravidian language used predominantly in the southern state of Karnataka, India. U+0CD6, or the "KANNADA AI LENGTH MARK," plays an essential role in digital text processing for this script. It specifically serves as a length mark for the "a" (or 'ay') sound in the Kannada alphabet, which is crucial for accurate pronunciation and understanding of the language. In the context of typography and Unicode, U+0CD6 helps ensure proper rendering and formatting of text when using digital platforms or software that supports the Kannada script. It contributes to preserving the rich cultural heritage and linguistic nuances of Kannada literature, thereby aiding in fostering communication among speakers of this language. In terms of technicality, U+0CD6 is part of the Unicode standard (Unicode 3.2), which facilitates consistent encoding and representation across different platforms and devices, promoting global accessibility and interoperability for diverse scripts.
